Gaining Joy – v2

In the communion,
the sharing in the chapel
giving our confessions to God,
our sin revealed, out loud
confessing to God
and, in so doing,
feeling real forgiveness
from God and ourselves

The magnitude of the gift
the shedding of His blood,
the breaking of His body
revealed again
in the time of sharing
this holy meal, communion,
remembering again
what He did for us

Gaining joy in the sharing,
in the humble sharing
the bread and the wine
praying after receiving
sitting in the stillness
gaining joy in our salvation
our thanks before our God
